New Zealand-born indie-pop chanteuse Lisa Crawley moved to Los Angeles in early 2020, after career forays in London and Melbourne. Emerging from her first year in LA, during which she eschewed pandemic realities to thrive and survive, Lisa Crawley will release her single “The Right Way,” from the forthcoming EP Looking For Love (In A Major), on 6/18.
“The Right Way” was co-written and produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa and Rob bonded over Jon Brion, The Dresden and The Office (UK). These are just some of the iconic cultural influences that forged the creative process behind “The Right Way”. It will be accompanied by a highly reflective video directed by Heather Ballish that embraces awkwardness, hindsight and introspection, out next week.
“That moment when you think of everything you should’ve said after it’s all said & done perfectly captured in a catchy melody…an anthem for all of humanity” (-BTR Today)
Lisa is a four-time APRA Silver Scroll Award nominee, and was twice selected for the prestigious Banff Centre songwriter residency (Canada), where many of her notable songs were written.
A natural collaborator, Lisa has worked with luminary antipodean songwriters Tim Finn, Greg Johnson and Hugo Race, and created her show “Elizabeth” with Bullet Heart Club (Daffodils). Lisa has performed her own song arrangements with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and opened for Suzanne Vega, John Mayer, Jools Holland, Paul Weller and Simply Red. More recently, Lisa donned her acting hat to star as ‘GIRL’ in the Tony Award-winning musical ‘Once’.
Over the past year, Lisa harnessed her insatiable creative drive to write “Show You What Love Is”, “Tragedy Boy”, “Clear History” and “See Me Soon”’ all produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa’s songs also graced the airwaves of US TV shows “Nancy Drew”, “Good Trouble”, “Stumptown”, and “Proven Innocent”.
Her upcoming EP ‘Looking For Love (In A Major)’ will be released on July 23, 2021.
